The 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am begins Thursday as the first Signature Event of the PGA Tour season, featuring a loaded field of 80 players at Pebble Beach Golf Links and Spyglass Hill Golf Course. Defending champion Rory McIlroy makes his season debut after skipping the first four tournaments, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler enters as the +300 favorite. The $20 million purse includes $3.6 million for the winner, with no cut after 36 holes.
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am returns to its iconic Monterey Peninsula setting from February 12-15, 2026, marking the PGA Tour's first elevated event of the year. Players will rotate between the 6,989-yard par-72 Pebble Beach Golf Links and the tougher 7,071-yard par-72 Spyglass Hill Golf Course for the first two rounds, before concluding exclusively at Pebble Beach on the weekend. This format, in place for the last two years, features an 80-player field without a cut, emphasizing precision on the tour's smallest greens, averaging 3,500 square feet.
Rory McIlroy, who won in 2025 with a record 21-under-par total, tees off for his first PGA Tour start of 2026 after finishes of T3 and T33 on the DP World Tour in Dubai. He trails only Scottie Scheffler in betting odds at +1400, with Scheffler coming off a T3 at the WM Phoenix Open. Other contenders include Si Woo Kim (+2000), who has not finished worse than T11 in four starts this season, and recent Farmers Insurance Open winner Justin Rose (+2700), who claimed victory here in 2023 and T3 last year.
Chris Gotterup, with two wins already in 2026 including a playoff victory over Hideki Matsuyama at the WM Phoenix Open, sits at +2700. The event offers 700 FedExCup points to the champion. Weather forecasts suggest calm conditions early, but potential wind and rain on Sunday could challenge the field on Pebble's coastal layout, where eight holes play over par. Broadcast coverage airs on Golf Channel and CBS.
